Apple shows confidence in magazine publishing apps with major acquisition

Los Angeles CA – March 28, 2018 - Apple recently announced it is acquiring Texture by Next Issue LLC, a magazine subscription app featuring 200 of the leading consumer magazines. Today, Media in Motion LLC announced that 103 new magazines have started on its MagCast magazine app publishing platform so far in 2018.

Media Appearances Verification Process

​The implied endorsement value of appearing in national news media is a powerful one. Since the days of P.T. Barnum and Thomas Edison, entrepreneurs and organizations of all sizes have sought positive press coverage of their enterprises.

Even in the Internet era, our collective unconscious almost universally equates news coverage with importance. This is particularly true of the business press, and why the practice of claiming non-existent media credentials has become widespread on the Internet.

VerifiedAppearances.org was created to solve this problem.

All media appearances listed on our website have been individually verified by a member of our team. Businesses that apply for a profile page and listing of their media appearances pay a non-refundable review fee. Our team then confirms whether their media appearances are legitimate, and therefore suitable for listing on VerifiedAppearances.org on a business profile page.

​If we cannot verify the media, we don’t list it. You can rest assured that the media listed on this page has been independently verified.

MagCast is a popular magazine app publishing software by Media in Motion LLC.

By 2017 over 10% of the magazine apps on the App Store and hundreds of titles on Google Play were powered by MagCast.

In April 2018, the MagCast platform had its most sweeping update since 2013. Over a dozen speed enhancements, feature upgrades and new features were added by Media in Motion in a single release.
